LIBERTAS SCHOOL

Libertas School is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Achievement School District school district, located in Memphis, TN with about 320 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 3rd Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 13 teachers, Libertas School has a student/teacher ratio of about 24:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Libertas School of Memphis, located in the Frayser community, is a tuition-free public charter school that utilizes the **Montessori educational model**.

Beyond its academic curriculum, Libertas School places a strong emphasis on character development and community partnership. The school is deeply committed to serving the local Frayser neighborhood, prioritizing accessibility and equity to ensure that students from diverse backgrounds have access to a high-quality, personalized education.
